Gauck Linkdump of the Day
There’s more on the upcoming German presidential elections behind the cut, including what Joachim Gauck thinks about the internet (hint: he doesn’t like it), a link to an interview with Gauck challenger Beate Klarsfeld and the candidates evaluated from a … Continue reading
